Exacerbation lingering.

Just a quick update: Unfortunately, the symptoms of my exacerbation are still occurring, but they've gotten better..... slowly.  By better I mean the numbing and tingling sensation on my feet is pretty much gone, and I have more sensation back on my face and tongue but I'm still waiting for the numb sensation to be gone completely.  Slowly but surely, just have to continue being patient  :)

This may sound a little bizarre for me to say I was glad there was an active lesion seen in the MRI, but because of that finding, I gave good reason for my sensations and how they may be temporary. Had there not been an active lesion and I was still having the symptoms would have been a bit more disheartening because I may have been stuck with these symptoms for the rest of my life, who knows.

Medication update: Tecfidera is working well - Sunday will be on mark my third month/refill.  Turns out I do not need to eat before I take my AM & PM capsule.  I am also not making the monthly visits to Kaiser's Pharmacy to get the MS medication as Tecfidera is delivered via FedEx. Sure, I have to schedule the deliveries, due to the temperature sensitive RX, but the cannot complain too much about the awesome trade-off!  Now that I have made the transition from needles to an oral medication, my wish now is for a medication that is not temperature sensitive.  Then I could say how things would be as close to perfect as it could get for me, multiple sclerosis wise  ;)

The next thing on my medical to do list is changing my neurologist. I've had the same one since we signed up with Kaiser and I think it is time to make the change.  I feel I need someone who is a little more aggressive and dependable.
